With all the Hollywood glitz and glamour, it isn't surprising that celebrities are opting to enhance themselves with various surgeries to make them look better. High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale, however, isn't one to go for that extreme effort. Despite her recent nose job, she believes that going under the knife should solely be for health purposes only.

People magazine recently revealed that the 22-year-old actress had undergone an agonizing rhinoplasty surgery due to some health problems. On November 30, Tisdale was accompanied by her mother, Lisa to the hospital for a five-hour operation which was solely done for health-related reasons.

"Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing," the High School Musical star said in the interview with People magazine. "The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose."

Tisdale added that she was anxiously worried all throughout the operation, which turned out to be a success.

"I was completely scared," she said of the operation. "I wasn't looking forward to the surgery at all. I actually had trouble sleeping for a week before."

She added, "I'm not feeling great today. It's uncomfortable and I hope this is the only time I ever have to go through something like this."

Having said that, the young actress made it clear that she isn't an advocate for plastic surgery, especially for aesthetic reasons. She also made sure that her fans do know what's going on, and that she is doing this to address her health problem.

"I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health," Tisdale said. "I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose. I want my fans to know the truth. I'm not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me."

Production for High School Musical 3 begins early next year, as Tisdale takes a rest over the holidays to be able to come back for the much awaited installment of the Disney movie.
